THE COLOR LIAE.
Northern journal Holds that the Glenn
Bill is Constitutional

Copyght, lsS7, by The California associated Press
New YORK, August fth.-[Speeial. The Erel,-
ing I0s raises the point ON the Glenn educi.-
tioEal bill in Georgia, that it abridgeS no civil
rights, because it implies impartially to whites
and blacks. II a teacher who teaches a white
school should receive black pupil he would
receive precisely the same penalty as the teach
er of II black school who should receive white
pupil. The State has right TO dictate that the
attendance upon schools shall be regulated ac-
cording to sex, and in like manner it has the
right to dictate that the attendance shall be reg
nlatcd according to color, provided the limita-
tlons and penalties imposed upon white and
black offenders against the law are the same.
stitational il submitted to n Republican Supreme
Court, and it may well be accepted that
Georgia has a legal right to pass it. The real
appeal in such case Is not to Congress or the
Supreme Court, but to the popular conscience
and sense of justice.

WAsHISoroS, August 18th = Especial. / The
Times says editorially: 1.-The relief felt by the
Navy Department at the comparatively fayora-
BILE result OF the second trial of the Atlanta's

age was all included in the breaking of the
cast steel port-sills and the starting of some
light woodwork. OF course. even this should
not have occurred but 1t will be remembered
what catalogue of destruction was reported
after the first trial with only two rounds-one
with less than the service charge. At all events
since 1t was widely rumored that only hasty
cessation of the former firing saved the ship
from being racked 10 pieces, the new tests have
become almost positive triumphs."
